Treating and Preventing Diabetic Wounds

Diabetes affects millions of people and can lead to serious complications, including slow-healing wounds. Without proper care, diabetic wounds can become infected, cause severe pain, and even lead to amputation. At Healing Hands Wound Care Center, we specialize in advanced diabetic wound management to prevent complications and promote healing—right in the comfort of the patient’s home.

Why Diabetic Wounds Are a Serious Concern

People with diabetes are more prone to chronic wounds due to:

Reduced circulation – High blood sugar damages blood vessels, slowing healing.
Nerve damage (neuropathy) – Loss of sensation in the feet and legs can prevent patients from noticing injuries.
Weakened immune system – The body’s ability to fight infections is compromised.
Increased infection risk – Minor cuts can quickly become serious wounds if not properly treated.
